This  report  shows  environmental,  demographic,  and  EJ  indicator  values.  It  shows  environmental  and  demographic  raw  data  (e.g.,  the  estimated  concentration  of 
ozone  in  the  air),  and  also  shows  what  percentile  each  raw  data  value  represents.  These  percentiles  provide  perspective  on  how  the  selected  block  group  or 
buffer  area  compares  to  the  entire  state,  EPA  region,  or  nation.  For  example,  if  a given  iocation  is  at  the  95th  percentile  nationwide,  this  means  that  only  5 
percent  of  the  US  population  has  a higher  block  group  value  than  the  average  person  in  the  location  being  analyzed.  The  years  for  which  the  data  are  available, 
and  the  methods  used,  vary  across  these  indicators.  Important  caveats  and  uncertainties  apply  to  this  screening-level  information,  so  it  is  essential  to  understand 
the  limitations  on  appropriate  interpretations  and  applications  of  these  indicators.  Please  see  EJSCREEN  documentation  for  discussion  of  these  issues  before  using 
reports.

* The  National-Scale  Air  Toxics  Assessment  (NATA)  is  EPA's  ongoing,  comprehensive  evaluation  of  air  toxics  in  the  United  States.  EPA  developed  the  NATA  to 
prioritize  air  toxics,  emission  sources,  and  locations  of  interest  for  further  study.  It  is  important  to  remember  that  NATA  provides  broad  estimates  of  health  risks 
over  geographic  areas  of  the  country,  not  definitive  risks  to  specific  individuals  or  locations.  More  information  on  the  NATA  analysis  can  be  found 
at:  http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/natamain/index.html.

EJSCREEN  is  a screening  tool  for  pre-decisiona!  use  oniy.  it  can  heip  identify  areas  that  may  warrant  additional  consideration,  analysis,  or  outreach.  It  does  not 
provide  a basis  for  decision-making,  but  it  may  heip  identify  potential  areas  of  EJ  concern.  Users  should  keep  in  mind  that  screening  tools  are  subject  to  substantial 
uncertainty  in  their  demographic  and  environmental  data,  particularly  when  looking  at  small  geographic  areas.  Important  caveats  and  uncertainties  apply  to  this 
screening-level  information,  so  it  is  essential  to  understand  the  limitations  on  appropriate  interpretations  and  applications  of  these  indicators.  Please  see 
EJSCREEN  documentation  for  discussion  of  these  issues  before  using  reports.  This  screening  tool  does  not  provide  data  on  every  environmental  impact  and 
demographic  factor  that  may  be  relevant  to  a particular  location.  EJSCREEN  outputs  should  be  supplemented  with  additional  information  and  local  knowledge 
before  taking  any  action  to  address  potential  EJ  concerns.
